Transcripts of podcasts are being (slowly) made available.

    As per a mention from a friend, that she prefers to read over listening, I decided to create and publish transcripts of my mother's and my podcasts. If it's easier for you to read (there are several advantages, including the ease of being able to stop and restart mid stream without missing a beat), as the transcripts become available, I'll include links to them in purple, underneath the specific podcast.
    I will be back dating the transcripts within the journal according to when they were recorded, which is the reason for the links. Two have been added at this time. For ease of reading, I'm also dividing each transcripted interview into unequal, titled sections.
    Please note the following, which I am copying verbatim from the introduction to the post that holds the publication of the first two transcripts:
Comments on Reading versus Listening
    I'm surprised to find that Mom's and my conversations translate well into transcription. I can't help but note, though, that there is a lot about the way we interact with one another and our relationship that escapes the eye, and thus, the brain and the heart. The transcript definitely preserves the hard, cold facts but I believe, now, that if you avoid the audio versions, you will miss much that is pertinent, particular and pleasurable about our relationship and our lived-together life.
    Just wanted to mention that.
    I will, by the way, be writing about our most recent appointment day...
    ...later.
